During our Exchange 2010 upgrade project we noticed the monitoring on one server stopped working.

We use a product called Solarwinds, this uses a combination of Powershell, WMI and SNMP to monitor services on hardware and software from around the business.We noticed that Solarwinds would return the following error message when polling this particular server

Network connection failed. HResult: No data to return. Error: Unable to connect to the specified computer, or the computer is offline.
